Francuska artystka ukrywająca się pod pseudonimem Arkane jest autorką murala "La Liberation de Mons" w Maisieres przy głównej drodze prowadzącej z Mons do kwatery NATO. Praca powstała we wrześniu dla upamiętnienia 80 rocznicy wyzwolenia Mons spod okupacji niemieckiej. Wielokrotnie mijałem ją w drodze do pracy, ale dopiero wczoraj miałem okazję bliżej jej się przyjrzeć z bliska. Mural jest dość nietypowy, bo namalowano go na dwóch ścianach budynku ze stopniowym dachem, przedstawia amerykańskiego żołnierza i dwoje dzieci siedzących na korpusie pierwszego czołgu, który wjechał do Mons.

[ENG] A French artist hiding under the pseudonym Arkane is the author of the mural ‘La Liberation de Mons’ in Maisieres on the main road leading from Mons to the NATO headquarters. The work was created in September to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Mons from German occupation. I have passed it many times on my way to work, but it was only yesterday that I had the opportunity to take a closer look at it up close. The mural is quite unusual, as it was painted on two walls of a building with a stepped roof, and depicts an American soldier and two children sitting on the body of the first tank to enter Mons.

Pierwszym amerykańskim pojazdem, który wjechał do Mons był czołg M5 Stuart z 83 Batalionu Rozpoznawczego o numerze bocznym 3047787. Później ten czołg pojechał dalej, do końca wojny jego załoga brała udział w działaniach wojennych na terenie Niemiec. Po wojnie w 1946 roku jeden z miejskich radnych skontaktował się z władzami amerykańskimi i na jego prośbę M5 Stuart „Fish N Chips” nie wrócił do USA z większością wycofywanych wojsk, ale trafił ponownie do Mons, tym razem do ogrodu na terenie ratusza, gdzie spędził blisko 40 lat. Pod koniec XX wieku grupa pasjonatów podjęła się próby odrestaurowania czołgu, wtedy zrodziła się idea zlotu pojazdów militarnych "Tanks in Town, który odbywa się co roku w ostatni weekend sierpnia. Przez wiele lat M5 Stuart „Fish N Chips” o numerze bocznym 3047787 jechał na czele kolumny pojazdów zabytkowych, kilka lat temu trafił na cokół przed Muzeum Pamięci Mons.

[ENG] The first American vehicle to enter Mons was an M5 Stuart tank from the 83rd Reconnaissance Battalion, with the side number 3047787. Later this tank went on, until the end of the war its crew took part in the war effort in Germany. After the war, in 1946, a city councillor contacted the US authorities and, at his request, M5 Stuart ‘Fish N Chips’ did not return to the US with most of the withdrawing troops, but ended up back in Mons, this time in the garden in the grounds of the city hall, where it spent nearly 40 years. At the end of the 20th century, a group of enthusiasts undertook an attempt to restore the tank, then the idea of the ‘Tanks in Town’ military vehicle rally, which takes place every year on the last weekend of August, was born. For many years M5 Stuart ‘Fish N Chips’ with side number 3047787 drove at the head of a column of historic vehicles, a few years ago it was placed on a plinth in front of the Mons. Memorial Museum.

Przed kociołem w Maisieres pojawiły się już świąteczne ozdoby.

[ENG] Christmas decorations have already appeared in front of the Maisieres church.

    The mural fascinated me as you described it, I like that they have started to decorate with Christmas decorations.
